SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to assess spot FD NWE metallocene, standard LLDPE C6

Platts proposes to assess FD NWE metallocene and standard linear low density polyethylene C6 spot prices, which are spot cargo size of minimum 100-300 mt lots for domestic business.

Specifications for standard LLDPE C6 are: 1-Hexene comonomer based on the Ziegler Natta catalyst, with density between 917-922 kg/m3 for both cast and blown film, and a melt flow index of around 0.85.

Specifications for metallocene C6 are: 1-Hexene comonomer based on the metallocene Ziegler Natta catalyst with a density of 912-940 kg/m3 for both cast and blown film, and a melt flow index of between 0.5-4.5.

Platts is seeking feedback until February 4.

Platts plans to launch the assessments on March 6
